I am interested in brainstorming ways to identify opportunities to use digital tools in historical research projects.  Projects like the The Roaring Twenties and the Republic of Letters are innovative and inspirational, however their particular approach doesn’t seem to apply to my own research.  While I realize that some topics are better suited to digital tools than others, I can’t help but feel I might be missing something in my work that could benefit from DH methods.  How can we harness the power of digital representations of historical information to generate new knowledge? Looking forward to a fruitful discussion tomorrow!
